Be seen on the zine scene

Chicago Zine Fest presents a ton of exhibitors and a heap of how-tos.

Chicago Zine Fest

Fri-Sat 3/8-3/9, various times and locations, chicagozinefest.org, free.

Who says print is dead? Taking place over two days in three locations, Chicago Zine Fest provides a chance for independent publishers to showcase their work and for writers and artists to swap ideas. Highlights follow; a full schedule is at chicagozinefest.org.

Saturday's centerpiece is the Zine Exhibition, where in addition to tables by more than 200 zinesters (11 AM-6 PM, Conaway Center) there'll be workshops and panels. These last range from the prosaic—how to tour your zine (noon), how to anthologize it (4:30 PM)—to the big picture, with foci like "diversity and inclusion in the arts" (1 PM).
